Shimla may be a small town but it has an incredible history and so much to do. Raju was an excellent guide who really connects with his tour group, making it a more personal and enjoyable experience. Raju is passionate about his town and brought it to life for me. When I return, I will do the tour again if I can have Raju as the guide.

Really felt that our guide was...

Really felt that our guide was informed and took very good care of us during the tour. It was a bit strenuous at times but she was willing to take it slowly at our pace. I believe it could be improved if you could provide at least one way with a car and one way walking. Because it involves a bit of uphill walking. It also involves us walking around 40 minutes from our hotel to the meeting place. Other then that is it was and the restaurant was fantastic.
